Running from enemies is easy (FLEEQUICK and BENIGN tags). I'm not sure about how you'd get Big Daddies to work properly. I'd be tempted to say that it's not possible, even with the changes in the next version. The best you could probably do is create some kind of caste system so they're spawned as different variations of the same creature entry, and hence placed in the same clusters.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't know what code I should put in D: I'm not that great of a coder...

[Chronas]

It's pretty simple, each creature is made up of tokens that either have direct meaning or a modifiable value, look it up on the wiki for tutorials and a comprehensive list of tokens.

(Note: You can't do the caste thing yet. So they're as good as useless until the next version, and nearly as useless then, unless someone smarter than me comes up with something.)

How do I make the plants that you brew ADAM from drop on death of the splicers?

[Firnagzen]

[ITEMCORPSE:PLANT:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT:UNPROCESSED_ADAM]

Where UNPROCESSED_ADAM has its own entry in a the plant raws.

What does the class tag to for ammo? And how can I use this to make certain blowdarts fire from certain blowguns?

(Decided to use this as a plasmid, not the crossbow, it seemed cooler, I dunno)

[Chronas]

in fortress mode, player controlled soldiers can only wield ranged weapons tagged with the CROSSBOW skill

[3]

Note he was talking about ammo, not ranged weapons.

And yes, that's what the CLASS tag is for. You can attach any tag to any ranged weapon type (so it's entirely possible to have several different crossbow-class weapons with different ammo classes and they'll all work).

[Chronas]

of course, the only ammo available is BOLT, ARROW, and DART... which can be assigned to a weapon with any ranged skill tag.

technically you can have a weapon classed for melee as a SWORD, that does GORE damage and uses BLOWDART ranged skill that fires ARROWs that do BURN damage

[3]

Incorrect. You can set the ammo class to whatever you want and it'll work.

Example from Valkun's Magic:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_WEAPON_VALKUN_DEATH_CURSE]
[NAME:Curse:Curses]
[CLASS:DEATH_CURSE]
[DAMAGE:200:COLD]

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_VALKUN_BOOK_DEATH2]
[NAME:Book of Death Vol. 2 - Buried Alive and Loving It:Death II]
[DAMAGE:25:BLUDGEON]
[WEIGHT:25]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:CROSSBOW:DEATH_CURSE]
[TWO_HANDED:4]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:4]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]

[Chronas]

you can code it in but does it actually work?

[3]

Oh course it works; why else would it be in a released mod?

And before you ask the inevitable question, yes, I have used it.

[Chronas]

I stand completely corrected then. I must revise my old mod to see where i went wrong

[ShadowLuigi147]

Thanks a lot guys!
